I disagree with just about everything in this post, but I find one particular thing very interesting. >And China is going to be declining over the next 50 years. Their population is projected to decline from 1.4B to 700M-1B by 2100 (depending on what estimate you look at) and they're going to have a lot of old people compared to working-age people. Their workforce is already down 2.5% from its 2015 peak. The US, on the other hand, will still be a growing nation thanks to immigration. Even if we assume these predictions are correct (They aren't. You don't cite sources, but they generally come from the same people who have predicted China's end for the past 40 years, such as Gordon Chang and Michael Pettis), China also has the option of allowing immigration. It's interesting that America has tried to transfigure its settler-colonial, genocidal and slaver history into a kind of Thanksgiving-esque "Nation of Immigrants" storytale, but it doesn't make it actually true, and it certainly doesn't mean that other countries cannot avail themselves of immigration as a demographic strategy (in case it's needed). I think the Christian narrative that America is "the chosen ones" clouds not just moral judgment but geostrategic judgment as well.
